A Multifunction Printer, often referred to as an MFP, is a device that consolidates the functionality of a printer, copier, scanner and/or fax into one machine. Multifunction Printers are a common choice for budget-minded businesses that want to consolidate assets, reduce costs, and improve workflow. Beyond printing and copying, your MFP will help manage documents, reduce paper, simplify workflow, manage forms, etc. Before choosing the right printer for your office, you need to ask: how many copy, print, fax, scan, and email jobs will you run each day? How many users will share the device? Will you need it to be color capable? We can help you answer these, and other, questions!

6 Leadership Lessons from the Great Outdoors

#1 Don't rush under a falling tree. My father taught me how to use a chainsaw, and rule number one was safety first. You can't hurry the job when you're cutting timber. You might do a sloppy job or, worse, cut off a limb or get crushed by a falling tree. You may have a great idea and be gung-ho about getting it to the market but take a breath first. Make sure you are organized and have a solid plan before you leap in.

4. Never stop learning.The most powerful word in the English language is “Why.” There is nothing so powerful as an open, inquiring mind.

You’ve no doubt met some of them already – and you’ll meet plenty more.Their favorite word is “No.” They will give you a million reasons why something can’t be done or shouldn’t be done.Don’t listen to them, don’t be deterred by them, and don’t become one of them.

Why Your Business Goals might Need a Reality Check

Why Your Business Goals Might Need a Reality Check 

Entrepreneurship is not for the faint-of-heart. You need a fair dose of optimism to succeed as an entrepreneur. But a very thin line separates optimism from illusion. A prominent study of 2994 entrepreneurs, for example, revealed that about 81 percent rated their odds of success at seven out of 10 or higher and a remarkable 33 percent foresaw their chances of success as being 10 out of 10.
